Good Samaritan Community Service offers two programs through which field placement can be completed, Adult Case Management and Youth Case Management. Each of these programs are unique to the population they serve but provide diverse experience in serving the needs of the individuals and families of the community. While at Good Samaritan your internship will focus on applying your coursework knowledge to human behavior in social environments where assessment, intervention and evaluation are key to reaching positive outcomes for clients, programs, and your learning experience.

Intern Testimonials

“Everything from culture to the community and how the macro level impacts the micro level, the population Good Sam serves, was covered thoroughly through the internship. I don’t feel I missed out on any learning experiences that Good Sam and it’s staff had to offer.”

"The Field Instructor is phenomenal at all that she does. She goes above and beyond."

“The Field Instructor was great and was always willing to take the time to help and answer questions. The internship was very good and helped prepare me for the social work field.”

“Good Sam is fantastic. Honestly, it is a great place for interns. I spoke to my field specialist about this program and how it should be prioritized over other agencies; I would like my fellow Bear peers to have an opportunity as I did. With the support and guidance that is provided, I absolutely recommend this internship to other students.”

“Because Good Sam offers so many opportunities for a student to learn and be exposed to important experiences that make up what a social worker would face in the field. It’s also an amazing place to make human connections and to have a lot of fun while learning.”

“This placement allowed for learning in a variety of settings and challenged me to improve my social work skills. I had the charge to have direct contact with clients over a long period of time. This was priceless!”

“While COVID has made it difficult to get the full experience this internship has to offer, I still believe it is a good opportunity for students to get hands on experience in the community.”

“I obtained experience in a variety of settings. I feel more confident about case management, rapport building skills, creating treatment plans and maintaining documentation. These are all areas that I had no prior experience/knowledge.”

“I learned a tremendous amount this semester. I was able to use what I was learning in class and apply it here. I enjoyed having a lot of client contact and felt that it was really useful for my learning and success.
